5. Q-Waves Wireless USB AV Kit
The Q-Waves Wireless USB AV Kit costs around £85 and it sends a video stream of whatever your laptop or PC is showing you to your TV, essentially turning your TV into a wireless monitor. You can use it for watching things like Sky Player, BBC iPlayer and other media on your TV in high quality.
This is free software which essentially allows you to turn your webcam into a home security system. It recognises when people come in or go out of a door for example, and emails you when they do.
This nifty little app for your iPhone or iPod Touch essentially turns your iPod into an advanced trackpad, or wireless mouse with which you can control your PC or Mac.
2. Earphone Cable Fold
Wrap the cord around your hand leaving the jack hanging a little. Pinch the middle to form a bow and wrap the remaining cord around, pushing the jack through the middle and pulling it tight. Hey Presto – no more annoyingly tangled earphones.
1. Tinfoil Wi-Fi Booster
Another free tip from Jason. There is nothing more annoying than losing your wi-fi signal halfway through an online gaming session, but you can use this tip to solve the problem. Get some tinfoil, Make it rectangular and place it next to your router, so that it can reflect signal from your wireless router towards the room with your wireless laptop, gaming console etc. You will find that the signal is automatically boosted. A great tip, and it’s free!
